Generation

Soil pH measures the acidity or alkalinity of soil on a scale of 0-14, with 7 being neutral, below 7 acidic, and above 7 alkaline. Most plants prefer slightly acidic soil (pH 6.0-7.0) because nutrient availability is optimal in this range. Soil amendments like lime (CaCO₃) raise pH in acidic soils, while sulfur (S) or aluminum sulfate lowers pH in alkaline soils. The key relationship is **pH = -log[H⁺]**, where [H⁺] is the hydrogen ion concentration in moles per liter.
